A five-story mixed-use building featuring Art Deco-style architecture and up to 60 age-restricted units has been proposed for a parking lot in Bethesda next to a Balducci’s-anchored shopping center.

Aubinoe was not immediately available for comment. According to plans filed with Montgomery County, the building will include 60 units for individuals 55 and older and 11,000 square feet of ground-floor retail.

The proposed mixed-use building will be “built using buff-colored brick in an Art Deco style, with decorative elements that mimic the brushed metal accents common to the period,” according to site plans.
